Halftime at the moment. I haven't been able to copy much because I had to address a feedline issue, plus I'm trying to capture a new HM01 file for the log. But good S7 signal here in Denver from what I believe to be tx from Ascension Island. Some fades. Tottenham Hotspur 1 - 1 Manchester United.

EDIT 1733: The signal has faded to the point where it's about the noise floor level, slightly above perhaps, but too weak for my hearing damaged ears to make out what's being said. However, it's pretty clear that the match isn't being covered any longer.

After the Wiggan loss, it was too depressing to watch or listen, I went for a walk.  Heard a bit of the post game on 15400 am at 1815z, 2-1 United.
